Well I am finally getting GPS for my Axim. It looks as though any CF based receiver that is WAAS enabled should do the trick. The software on the other hand is not as easy.

I installed a demo of Mapopolis and I am only somewhat impressed. The POI info was whoafully out of date. It looks as though the Navtech provides the maps and POI info. My question then is there an another company with more up to date POI and road info. Or is the demo maps just not keep up to date. Also how often do the companies update the POI info. I have roads near me that have stores and retaurants that have been there for four years that don't show up on the Mapopolis/Navtech maps.

Routis doesn't seem to have a demo but the screenshots from the website seem to be better than Mapopolis. I don't really care for the 3D stuff though...

Lot's of questions! Any suggestions?
